Welcome Welcome to the University of Cambridge International Summer Programmes, now celebrating their 95th year, and continuing to reflect this remarkable University’s 800-year history of tradition and innovation. Our oldest programmes spring from our first offerings in1923: two new programmes and over 100 new courses will be offered in 2018.

Our programmes are recognised for their excellent teaching, fascinating courses, and inspiring lectures and talks. We welcome hundreds of new and returning students (undergraduates, graduates, and adults of all backgrounds and professions) to the University each summer. They learn from some of its finest academics, and from each other. And within a community which boasts some 60 nationalities and every age group from 18 to 80+, there is no shortage of people to share new ideas and opinions.

Why join us? Studying with us can help enhance your degree course, your career prospects, your communication skills, or simply feed your love of learning. Every year, the learning and exchange of ideas continues outside the classroom: over meals in College, during exploration of this vibrant, bustling city, and its historic Colleges, museums and galleries, in punts on the river, or on our weekend excursions. You can choose which of five Colleges - Gonville & Caius, Newnham, Queens’, St Catharine’s or Selwyn - will be your home whilst you are here.

In a rapidly-changing world, increasing our knowledge is crucial, but so too is the need for a broader outlook and greater understanding of other communities.

Increasing cross-cultural awareness and the seeds of global citizenship are just two of the many additional benefits of studying with us. Every year our students tell us how our Summer Programmes have helped them to broaden their perspectives, make new connections and to foster friendships with people from across the globe.

Short as they are, our programmes can be life-changing!

Join us and see for yourself.

“Classes are rich and rewarding in their variety and depth; plenary lectures are stimulating and fun; the international, intergenerational student body is a delight… It's no wonder students return year after year.”

Ben Wiley, United States of America 4

Our teaching staff With so many excellent lecturers and differing approaches, you will discover the richness which characterises the 'Cambridge experience'.

Our Programmes Directors Our Programme Directors draw on an understanding of current trends, long-standing contacts with other senior academics, and knowledge of rising stars in their specialist field to select Course Directors and create inspirational programmes. They also agree the scope of each course and help to plan the series of plenary lectures and more general evening talks.

Experienced communicators Courses, seminars and core sessions are taught by a combination of leading Cambridge scholars and guest subject specialists who bring a wealth of knowledge to the academic programmes.

Course Directors devise and deliver the courses, seminars and core sessions. There is no single teaching style, all are different. Classes are limited in size to encourage group interaction and a more personal learning experience.

Student feedback helps to confirm the popularity of Course Directors, and endorses the claim that our teaching staff are very effective communicators.

For our English Law and Legal Methods programme, specialist subjects are taught in seminars by renowned legal experts from the Faculty of Law. Courses and seminars are supplemented by plenary lectures.

These are delivered by Plenary Lecturers who focus on a specific angle, interpreting their area of scholarship to fit the plenary theme for the programme. Ranked amongst these eminent speakers have been Nobel and other major prize-winners.

Most teaching takes place on the Sidgwick Site. Other locations are given in specific programme descriptions.

See pages 18-99 (programme descriptions), pages 100-107 (Course Directors), page 121 (map) and our website for further information.

International politics in a global age I Sir Tony Brenton, Ian Shields, Dr Julie Smith, Dr Robert Weatherley In this team-taught course, we consider some of the key issues shaping politics in the modern world and examine how political, strategic and economic aspects of international relations interact with, and reinforce, one another in a global age.

Napoleon Bonaparte remains one of the most frustrating 'great men' of history.

Was he an admirable figure, devoted to good government and the protection of liberty, brought down by lesser men? Or was he a power-grabbing betrayer of the ideals of the Revolution, a war-monger who brought disaster to France and to Europe?

Between them, 2,000 years ago, the Romans and the Chinese dominated almost half of the world. How did their empires work and how were their subjects affected? Visionary leadership, ideology, bureaucracy, sociology, geography: were there common factors to explain the rise and fall of these powers? Comparison clarifies the issues.

The English Renaissance was a time when Kings owned unicorn horns and claimed descent from legendary heroes; when fact and fiction faded in the theatre of court life. It was a time of prophecy and witchcraft and a question of perspective. We investigate the smoke and mirrors of English Renaissance culture.

Hollywood is a word that nowadays has lost respect, yet the artistic pieces that have been produced under its auspices are some of the most enduringly important of the 20th century. We will study an example from each of five decades in an attempt to understand the greatness of this hybrid art.

Hollywood cinema: five films from the 1920s to the 1960s Simon Browne

Group B: 11.45am – 1.00pm

British politics and political thought, 1600-1800 Dr Graham McCann

B11

This course introduces key figures, theories and themes from two centuries of British political thought.

It includes Hobbes and Locke (political obligation); Hume and Smith (wealth and virtue); Burke and Paine (revolution). It also explores common concerns – liberty; obligation; civic virtue; the claim 'to know better' – and considers their enduring relevance.

This is a three-part course which can only be taken with A11 and C11.

International politics in a global age I Various speakers

B12

The Cold War: clash of the Superpowers Dr Jonathan Davis The Cold War divided the world for nearly fifty years.

Great ancient and medieval philosophers Dr Karim Esmail Western philosophy begins with the Ancient Greeks. This course is an introduction to some of the key elements in the thought of some great Ancient Greek philosophers and some great medieval philosophers. They are the pre-Socratics, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Anselm, and Aquinas.

B14

Art and power: how value is made Siân Griffiths Cultural capitals are a defining feature of our world. But how did certain cities become so dominant as centres for art? And how did the value systems, which define the kind of art we make and collect, actually form? From the Renaissance to the present day, did we get the art that we deserved?

B15

The politics and economics of the European Union: past, present and future Max Beber Europe has been drinking in the lastchance saloon: stagnant economies, restless electorates, its second largest country heading for the Brexit door, populism and nativism on the rise, asymmetric wars and desperate refugees at its borders. This course explains how Europe reached its current unhappy predicament, and how national governments and EU institutions are attempting to overcome the current crisis.

B16

Violence and the royal figure in Shakespeare: King Lear and Macbeth Simon Browne Shakespeare’s tragedies look directly at the violence inherent in power.

In this course we shall be looking at two violent kings, Lear and Macbeth, whose murderous impulses destroy themselves, their family and bring civil war to their countries. What drew Shakespeare time and again to this form of narrative? What draws us?

Group C: 2.00pm – 3.15pm C11

International politics in a global age I Various speakers This is a three-part course which can only be taken with A11 and B11.

C12

The Scientific Revolution Piers Bursill-Hall The Scientific Revolution c.1500-c.1770 signalled the start of modern science.

Although the period was less revolutionary than you might expect, and changes sometimes happened for remarkably non-scientific reasons, no period in the history of science was quite so dramatic. It makes for an amazing story. Evaluation is not available for this course. Not to be taken with C33 in ISP Term III.

C13

The British Home Front in the First World War Dr Andrew Lacey

C14

Achilles, Odysseus and Aeneas: Ancient Greek and Roman epic heroes Dr Charles Weiss What can Ancient Greek and Roman poetry tell us about a world where war is life and life is war? What about a world where gods mix with humans and sponsor states? This course will address these questions by focusing on three magnicifent fictions: Achilles, Odysseus and Aeneas.

C15

Bob Dylan’s lyrics: a literary exploration Simon Browne Some people were delighted when Bob Dylan won the Literature Nobel Prize, others felt his work should only be appreciated as music. This course will look at lyrics from over four decades, from a literary standpoint, to see whether, indeed, they can be appreciated as works of literature.

2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. The first ‘total’ war in Britain’s history touched the lives of almost every family in the United Kingdom and in this course we will explore something of the varied impact of the War on the Home Front.

Less than 150 years separated Wellington’s squares at Waterloo from the atomic bomb. That period saw the British at war all over the world from Russia to Egypt, from Afghanistan to Normandy. How did this long period of conflict affect the British view of themselves and of others? How well did the British face both triumph and disaster?

This course introduces the major concepts and debates on aggregative economic systems, including national economies and international economic relations. It centres on main topics in macroeconomics: aggregate demand and supply management, economic growth, economic fluctuations and cycles, and the role for government intervention.

Words, deeds and democracy: British politics and political thought, 1800 to the present Dr Graham McCann We focus on the ideas and actions that accompanied the period in which Britain gradually became a modern democracy. Looking at liberal, socialist and conservative thinkers of the era, and also practical social movements, we examine what is distinctive about the British Constitution, as well as, more broadly, the nature of modern political theory.

Why is Stonehenge where it is? What was it for? Recent research has started to reveal large accumulations of Mesolithic material in the area. We explore a wide range of Mesolithic traditions – landscape use, mobility, settlement, tool use, hunting and domestic and ceremonial practices – for a wider understanding of huntergatherer societies. We examine later Neolithic monuments including the long barrows and the different building phases of Stonehenge.

20th-century country house fiction: Forster's Howard's End, Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and McEwan's Atonement Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie The English country house as a cultural concept was celebrated in 17th-century poetry and has been a favourite setting and theme for many a novel since the 18th century.

This course explores two traditional examples, E M Forster’s Howards End (1910) and Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited (1946) before discussing Ian McEwan’s post-modern use of it in Atonement (2001).

C23

Great modern philosophers Dr Karim Esmail The modern period of philosophy begins in the 17th century. This course is an introduction to some of the key elements in the thought of some of the great philosophers of this period: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Marx, and Wittgenstein.

C24

Making film: media theory and practice Dr Frederick Baker Anyone can shoot pictures, but good films are made before filming begins. We explore low-tech, rapidprototyping techniques which allow analysis and experience of film-making before the cameras roll. The course combines classroom sessions from a practitioner with practical exercises: location scouting, paper editing, casting and pitching. If possible, bring a mobile phone to take short film clips and your own laptop.

C25

International development: key issues in today's world Ingrida Kerusauskaite Guided by the Course Director, course participants work together to explore various factors affecting development and 'under-development', analysing a range of policies and development programmes.

In this course we shall consider what role philosophy can play in mediating the conflict(s) between science and religion. Does God's foreknowledge pose a greater threat to our freedom than either determinism or indeterminism?

Are Creationism and evolution competing theories? And can parables be used scientifically?

A slightly different view of Islam: we explore the controversial origins of Islam and its first two centuries of development. Next, we consider the intellectual and political conditions that generated the early Islamic world’s intense interest in science. Finally we look at the surprising and profound influence early Islam had on Western Christianity, science, and culture.

Evaluation is not available for this course.

J R R Tolkien and modern fantasy Dr John Lennard No 20th-century author has been more influential than Tolkien, and The Lord of the Rings all but created modern fantasy. This course spends the first week looking at Tolkien's work and its adaptations, including Jackson's films, and the second week on later fantasies indebted to, or reacting against, Tolkien's example.

Group B: 11.45am – 1.00pm A35

B31

In its relatively short history, psychology – the understanding of the human mind – has changed direction, focus and approach several times. We begin with a review of some of the dominant perspectives that have been developed to understand the psychology of the 'normal' mind and then shift attention to address how these perspectives can be applied to 'abnormal' minds. We focus on a variety of clinical conditions including schizophrenia, sub-clinical psychopathy, autism, depression and anxiety, contrasting differing models of explanation and differing approaches in treatment. This is a double course which can only be taken with B35 in ISP Term III.

Which defines Englishness best, the house or the garden? A combination of both. International influences adapted to the English climate fostered their development by owners, talented architects and garden designers. We explore the works of Kent, Brown, Morris, Lutyens and Jekyll and classical properties such as Stourhead, Sissinghurst and Highclere Castle.

The human mind: the 'normal' and beyond Dr John Lawson

English houses and gardens: defining Englishness Caroline Holmes

B32

Metropolis and imperialism, Roman and Aztec Dr Nicholas James Imperialism is often caused by struggles in the homeland. Rome and the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, both projected and diverted the stresses of rapid urban growth abroad. The chief problems were sociological, political and administrative. Investigating them takes us from palaces to banlieues and from temples and theatres to taverns.

We explore medical ideas and the practice of medicine alongside scientific theories of life, physiology, and disease. Starting with the pre-Classical world, Ancient Greece, the Arabic and Western Middle Ages, we move to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, ending with a very brief look at the beginnings of modern medical thinking in the 19th century. This non-technical treatment of medicine requires no scientific or medical background.

Evaluation is not available for this course.

Out-of-touch elites convinced they are entitled to govern; cynical demagogues who stir the mob to fury, the manipulative and the manipulated; the self-righteous and the self-seeking; the danger of social catastrophe and the yearning for something better: we look at three great plays by Shakespeare which throw light on such perpetually relevant political themes.

Whether stronghold or private domain, there is a romance to royal dwellings: fashions, tastes and social mores, ancient and modern, can be traced in their architecture and gardens.

We explore the designs and settings of royal residences such as the castles of Stirling, Windsor and Balmoral, and Hampton Court, Buckingham and Kensington Palaces.

The Scientific Revolution c.1500-c.1770 signalled the start of modern science.

Although the period was less revolutionary than you might expect, and changes sometimes happened for remarkably non-scientific reasons, no period in the history of science was quite so dramatic. It makes for an amazing story. Evaluation is not available for this course. Not to be taken with C12 in ISP Term I.

Castles, palaces and houses of British monarchs Caroline Holmes

British politics at the dawn of a new era Carina O'Reilly We will look at the future of British politics as the UK embarks on a journey into uncharted territory. We will ask whether the parties are fit to tackle the vast cultural gulfs exposed by the referendum – or whether we could see the rise of extreme populists in the years to come.

The Scientific Revolution Piers Bursill-Hall

Philosophy, humour and the absurd Dr Alex Carter We will explore the tensions between humour and philosophy through rare, but insightful, remarks from the history of philosophy; including René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Henri Bergson and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

We will assess historical and contemporary theories of what humour consists of and determine how humour informs existential questions of how one ought to live.

This course compares the achievements of the very different Athenian and Spartan states, culminating in their drawn-out struggle to control the Greek world in the late 5th century BC. So far as is possible, we will base the assessment on what the Greeks wrote about themselves.

The Visigothic sack of Rome in 410 AD (and Vandal and Ostrogothic attacks) signalled the fall of the Western Roman Empire and its transformation into the nation-states of Europe.

We will consider the emergence of 'England' from rival Anglo-Saxon and British kingdoms, ending with the magnificent Sutton Hoo royal ship-burial.

Athens and Sparta: rivals for Greek domination Dr Paul Millett

Aa2

The fall of Rome to the beginnings of England: Visigoths to Sutton Hoo Dr Sam Newton

Egypt's pyramid age: the Old Kingdom Dr Corinne Duhig FSA

Aa4

The Old Kingdom - the time of magnificent pyramids - is regarded by later Ancient Egyptians as the pinnacle of their civilisation. What social and economic structure made it possible to build them? Why were they, and the other great monuments, built?

How was everyday life in Egypt at the time? We address these questions, considering the precursors of the Old Kingdom and the causes of its final collapse.

In this course we trace the career of Horace, from his witty vignettes of Roman social life at the end of the Republic and the dawn of the Empire in the Satires, to some of the most memorable lines of Roman poetry in his Odes. Horace rose from fighting on the wrong side of history against Octavian to being Rome’s poet laureate.

The earliest of Ancient Greek philosophers are those preceding Socrates, viz. the Pre-Socratics.

They are concerned in particular with providing a single and rational account of the natural order. Socrates is concerned in particular with questions of ethics. This course is a philosophical introduction to some of the key elements in their thought.

Between them, 2,000 years ago, the Romans and the Chinese dominated almost half of the world. How did their empires work and how were their subjects affected? Visionary leadership, ideology, bureaucracy, sociology, geography: were there common factors to explain the rise and fall of these powers? Comparison clarifies the issues.

Ea2

Ea4

The pre-Socratics and Socrates Dr Karim Esmail

The invisible Ancient Egyptians Dr Corinne Duhig FSA We seem to know so much about the Ancient Egyptians, because they left a wealth of texts and images.

However, the majority of the subjects were elite, adult males. This course uses archaeology, anthropology and documentary evidence to complete the fascinating picture of Ancient Egyptian society, by illuminating the lives of those who appear ‘silent’: women, children, the poor, the disabled and foreigners.

Rome and China Dr Nicholas James

Dramatic women: Antigone, Hecuba, Medea, Electra and Lysistrata Dr Jan Parker Actors, directors, and audiences are fascinated by these powerful women's roles. Discussing key scenes, their interactions with others – Creon, Cassandra, Helen, Jason, Orestes, Clytemnestra and female choruses – we compare iconic representations, and explore the enduring timeliness and timelessness of these plays.

Week 2 (15 – 21 July) Group Ab: 11.15am – 12.45pm Ab1

Ab3

This course explores the achievements of Philip II and Alexander the Great against the context of their Macedonian heritage. We assess the realities behind the myth and romance of these colossal figures, approaching their achievements through modern accounts and, more particularly, from the writings of the Greeks and Romans.

Every early society wondered about the heavens; the Ancient Greeks started a particularly bold project of finding a physical model of the cosmos and the extraordinary idea of using geometry to explain the heavens.

We look at early cosmology and how physical and mathematical arguments developed around Plato, Aristotle and their successors. Evaluation is not available for this course.

Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great Dr Paul Millett

Ab2

The first Aegean empires: the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations Dr Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw This course investigates the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations (Greece, 3rd - 2nd millennia BC) as early empires. Combining archaeological, philological and interdisciplinary methods, we shall look at state formation processes, art, religion and economy in richly-illustrated sessions. The course also helps develop or sharpen critical skills needed to research past civilisations.

Investigating the cosmos: controversies in ancient astronomy Piers Bursill-Hall

Ab4

Demystifying the Etruscans Dr Margarita Gleba At the height of their power (8th 5th century BCE), Etruscans ruled the Mediterranean Sea, built some of the largest cities in Europe and developed some of the most complex infrastructures and technologies in the ancient world. Yet their language remains largely undeciphered, and they are often regarded as 'mysterious'.

We focus on archaeological evidence to explore Etruscan art, economy, religion, architecture and the legacy of the Etruscan culture.

Group Eb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Eb1

Plato and Aristotle Dr Karim Esmail This course is a philosophical introduction to Plato and Aristotle, addressing key elements in their thought. It considers Plato on the soul and its immortality in the Phaedo and the perfectly just city-state in the Republic, and Aristotle on language and logic in the Organon, on change and cause in the Physics, and on ‘happiness’ in the Nichomachean Ethics.

Eb2

The archaeology of the Ancient Greek myths Dr Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw Heroic journeys and epic feats are just two of the inspiring topics in Ancient Greek myths. But what about their archaeology? Our richly illustrated sessions explore this, alongside issues of spirituality, society and belief.

The course also helps develop or sharpen critical skills needed to research past civilisations.

Eb3

The rise of civilisation: Mesopotamia and Mexico Dr Nicholas James The Middle East and tropical Mexico have long provided case studies of the conditions for rising population, concentration of political power, growth of towns, technological intensification and the long-term consequences of these momentous developments. Our understanding of telling similarities and differences shifts continually with continuing archaeological research.

Eb4

Roman art and archaeology Dr Tiziana D'Angelo This course focuses on Roman art and material culture from c.300 BC - 400 AD. We will explore how the development of architecture, sculpture, painting and minor arts across the Roman Empire offer valuable insights into contemporary society, shedding light on urban life, religious beliefs, funerary practices, political ideology and cultural identity.

Literature Term I courses 8 – 21 July

Classes are held from Monday to Friday at the times shown. Participants choose two courses per week, one from Group G and one from Group H.

Term I, week 1 (8 – 14 July) Group Ga: 9.15am – 10.45am Ga1

Reading Chaucer's Canterbury Tales Dr Fred Parker Chaucer's wonderful, subtle story-telling is too good to be left to medieval specialists; it belongs to everyone who loves literature.

This course is intended for those new to Chaucer and with no knowledge of Middle English. They will discover the pleasure and interest at the heart of some of the best Tales, and by the end of the week will be reading Chaucer in the medieval text with fluency and delight.

Ga2

Henry James and the subjective adventure: In The Cage and The Turn of the Screw Rachel Bryan Henry James was fascinated by the power of the imagination. In two of his greatest novellas, In the Cage and The Turn of the Screw, he explores the risks and rewards that this most creative of faculties might offer to young women constrained by both their gender and social class.

Ga3

21st-century fiction and the return of Modernism Dr Andy Wimbush The 1920s and 30s saw a flurry of innovation in literary forms and methods under the banner of Modernism. This course will examine how modernist sensibilities continue to influence today’s writers through a study of Ali Smith’s How to be Both and Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Ga4

James Joyce's 'scrupulous meanness': style, text and context in Dubliners Dr Mark Sutton James Joyce identified the style of Dubliners as one of 'scrupulous meanness'. The book’s diminished subject matter, employment of the epiphany and lack of evident authorial intrusion marked the beginning of a new style in 20th-century literature.

We will consider innovations of style and substance, studying the individual stories partly through the historical and cultural context of Joyce’s time.

Group Ha: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Ha1

Ha3

We examine the emergence of guilt in the novel, as both an existential condition and a psychological reality, in three literary masterpieces: Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Kafka's The Trial and Ian McEwan's Atonement. In addition to close reading of these texts, we examine the development of a cultural and literary history that led to the foregrounding of guilt as a fictional subject.

From Thoreau to Kerouac, American literature has often depicted a quest for self-realisation and transcendence.

In this course, we will consider how contemporary writers have continued this American tradition through an exploration of George Saunders’s Booker-winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo and Barbara Ehrenreich’s memoir Living with a Wild God.

Guilt and the novel: Crime and Punishment, The Trial and Atonement Dr Elizabeth Moore

Ha2

An introduction to the Bloomsbury Group Dr Claire Nicholson This course introduces the key members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Lytton Strachey and John Maynard Keynes, and explores their contribution to the fields of art, literature, politics and philosophy. We look at examples and extracts of their work and consider their contribution to cultural life in early 20th-century Britain.

Contemporary American literature and the spiritual quest Dr Andy Wimbush

Ha4

Three great British fantasists: Lewis Carroll, Mervyn Peake, J R R Tolkien Dr John Lennard Far from being simple escapism, or for children, fantasy is often used to confront complex topical issues.

We consider Carroll's Alice books as psychology, Peake's Titus Groan and Gormenghast as satire, and The Lord of the Rings as history, asking throughout about the persistent recourse to fantasy evident in much modern writing.

Term I, week 2 (15 – 21 July) Group Gb: 9.15am – 10.45am Gb1

Two sides of Jane Austen: Mansfield Park and Emma Dr Fred Parker Mansfield Park is Austen's darkest, most challenging novel; Emma, written immediately afterwards, is perhaps her most brilliant comedy. Looking closely at particular scenes, we shall explore the qualities of each, while also asking what, if anything, connects these two contrasting masterpieces.

Gb2

Disruptive Comedies: Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream Dr Lucy Allen In Shakespearean comedy, all problems appear to be resolved by the promise of marriage. Yet Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream expose tensions, variously depicting forced marriage, pharmaceutical subterfuge and elaborately contrived fictions of infidelity. We will explore what happens when comedy becomes uncomfortable, disturbing, or disruptive.

Gb3

The double in Dostoevsky: The Brothers Karamazov and other writings Dr Mark Sutton A recurring theme in 19th-century literature from Gogol to Stevenson and beyond, the idea of the 'double' defines Dostoevsky’s writing both in terms of character psychology and broader narrative structure. The course will consider Dostoevsky’s re-definition of the double’s traditional division in his final and most ambitious novel, The Brothers Karamazov.

Gb4

The dramatic monologue in poetry: from Browning to the present Dr John Lennard Someone who clearly isn’t the poet speaks, someone else listens, silently yet reflected in the words. Browning and Tennyson made the dramatic monologue a primary Victorian form, but if subsequently rarer it still thrives, and this course will trace it onwards to T S Eliot, Robert Lowell, Dana Gioia, and beyond.

Group Hb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Hb1

Hb3

We explore the remarkable literary renaissance that took place in the American South in the mid-20th century, focusing on three works: William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire and Richard Wright’s Native Son. We examine the intricate relationship between race, the Southern plantation myth and the tragic existential sensibility that so distinctively marks Southern literature.

This course will focus on a selection of poets, novelists, and critics – including Wordsworth, Tennyson, A S Byatt, and J H Prynne – who have studied and worked in Cambridge. Through close reading, we will learn how to develop our interpretation of literary material and consider how this can inform our responses to literature.

The tragic South: literature of the American South Dr Elizabeth Moore

Hb2

Reading Virginia Woolf: To the Lighthouse and A Room of One's Own Dr Claire Nicholson Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? This course explores two of her best-known texts, together with extracts from relevant essays and short stories, to discover why she is regarded as one of the greatest British writers of the early 20th century.

Cambridge writers and Cambridge readers, 1798-2018 Dr Claire Wilkinson

Hb4

Three great Young Adult fantasists: Pullman, Rowling, Nix Dr John Lennard In the 1990s, Young Adult fantasy blossomed into a major and mainstream genre. This course looks at Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, J K Rowling's Harry Potter series, and Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy, asking about their deeper concerns, and why and how they became such iconic works, defining a generation.

Literature Term II courses 22 July – 4 August

Classes are held from Monday to Friday at the times shown. Participants choose two courses per week, one from Group G and one from Group H.

Term II, week 1 (22 – 28 July) Group Gc: 9.15am – 10.45am Gc1

Gc3

This course focuses upon two texts in which Woolf explores women’s place in society, from Clarissa Dalloway’s post-First World War London to three generations of the Pargiter family in The Years. We will discuss Woolf’s feminist perspectives on women’s changing social role from the late Victorian era to the early 20th century.

Fairy tales are fluid stories, reinvented by different eras and nations, and often altered for different audiences.

This course will examine the history of the fairy tale, tracing its development from oral and folk traditions to its reinvention by modern authors, including Angela Carter and Helen Oyeyemi.

Gc2

Gc4

Reading Virginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway and The Years Dr Claire Nicholson

An introduction to Homer: the Iliad and the Odyssey Dr Charles Weiss Like much of Ancient Greek literature, both these epics are based on the legend of the Trojan War. We will explore how Homer is surprisingly selective in his choice of material: the Iliad focuses on just a few weeks of action during the ten-year siege, and the Odyssey presents the homecoming of its great protagonist in some very unexpected ways.

56

Dangerous books for girls?

Fairy tales past and present Dr Jenny Bavidge FEA

The unconventional heroines of Brontë's Jane Eyre and Gaskell's North and South Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie When in 1847 Charlotte Brontë burst upon the literary scene, she was seen as a dangerous radical with tendentious views on gender relations. Criticised for her sympathetic treatment of social issues, Elizabeth Gaskell came to be regarded as the purveyor of cosy domestic values.

Our discussions will show that both views are oversimplifications!

Group Hc: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Hc1

Issues in the philosophy of literature I Jon Phelan This course explores fundamental questions about literature: What is literature? Can books be immoral?

What is creative about creative writing?

What makes good literary criticism?

What can we learn from literary fiction?

This course complements Hd1 or can be taken on its own.

Hc2

Romantic Lyric poetry: Wordsworth and Keats Dr Alexander Lindsay This course will examine selected poems from two of the most important collections of Romantic verse, Wordsworth's innovative Lyrical Ballads (1798 and 1800), and Keats's Poems (1820). We will focus on Wordsworth's meditative and narrative poems, on Keats's odes and their different thinking about the nature of poetry as revealed in prefaces and letters.

Hc3

Milton and the idea of freedom: Paradise Lost in context Dr Paul Suttie What kinds of freedom are worth fighting for? Should people be free to do things that others consider wrong or evil? In a time of revolutionary war, these were questions of life or death for Milton and his society. In his great poem Paradise Lost he aims to send a timeless message to posterity concerning the true nature and importance of freedom.

Hc4

Representing the Raj: Kim, A Passage to India, The Jewel in the Crown and The Siege of Krishnapur Dr John Lennard Representations of British rule in India vary widely, and are sharply contested.

Taking the four greatest novels to depict the Raj, this course asks how good they really are, how historically accurate they are, what kinds of bias they display, and what judgements of imperialism they offer.

Term II, week 2 (29 July – 4 August) Group Gd: 9.15am – 10.45am Gd1

Gd3

Vera Brittain’s novel, Testament of Youth (1933) describes the devastating impact of the First World War upon her life and her close friendship with fellow writer Winifred Holtby, which sustained her in the aftermath. Both women became committed pacifists.

This course will examine their post-war lives and work.

We focus on three novels which reflect the dark and dangerous ideas of the fin de siècle: Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. How does each novel deal with late-Victorian anxieties about race and class, post-Darwinian fears of 'degeneration' of the species, and the illicit pleasures of breaking with social, sexual and moral convention?

Female perspectives on the First World War: Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby Dr Claire Nicholson

Decadence and dread: three novels of the fin de siècle Dr Jenny Bavidge FEA

Gd2

Ancient Greek lyric poetry from Sappho to Pindar Dr Charles Weiss

Gd4

We will consider some of the most beautiful and tantalising fragments which remain from the original corpus of Ancient Greek lyric, from the highly individualistic Archilochus to the heart-breaking voice of Sappho and finally to the sublime Pindar, with plenty of lesser known glories in between. Poems will be contextualised in the historical setting of a rapidly developing Ancient Greece.

T S Eliot’s poem The Waste Land is widely regarded as the great but difficult masterpiece of Modernism.

We shall examine it closely from beginning to end and, as we do so, look at some of the works that inspired it and some of the poems written, as The Waste Land itself was, in the period 1914-22.

The Waste Land and other poems Clive Wilmer

Hd3

We consider why Plato wanted to ban poets from his ideal state and subsequent philosophical defences of literature. We will defend the close reading of literary texts, with reference to literary devices such as metaphor, and argue that the skills exercised in close reading extend beyond the literary text. This course complements Hc1 or can be taken on its own.

Shakespeare’s Sonnets take a popular Elizabethan form and turn it in unprecedented directions to give us some of the most powerful, best known and yet most elusive love lyric in English. We will set the stage for a close examination of Shakespeare’s sequence with a look at the development of the English sonnet during the 16th century.

Hd4

Issues in the philosophy of literature II Jon Phelan

Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice Dr Alexander Lindsay We look at how Jane Austen's earlier novels were originally cast in epistolary form, how both explore the inner life and social relationships of young women through a pair of contrasted sisters and how Pride and Prejudice develops the themes of its predecessor in a comedy less light-hearted than at first apparent.

Shakespeare and the English Sonnet Dr Paul Suttie

Charles Dickens: Oliver Twist Clive Wilmer Dickens’s second novel is still his most popular and perhaps the most powerful he ever wrote. A tale of innocence surviving amid evil, it is a savage indictment of social injustice and includes some of its author’s most memorable characters: Bill Sikes, Nancy, Fagin, the Artful Dodger and Oliver himself.

The English Revolution, 1637-62 Dr David Smith FRHistS Examining the dramatic events that engulfed England during the 1640s and 1650s, this course considers the outbreak of civil war, the execution of the King, the abolition of the monarchy, and the establishment of a republic.

We will explore the central themes and problems of this exciting period through an extensive selection of primary sources.

Winston Churchill: the greatest Briton?

Professor Mark Goldie FRSA FRHistS The people's Winston is a mass of contradictions: the saviour of his country in 1940; a defender of a declining Empire; a radical liberal; a reactionary conservative. He epitomised Britain's confused identity in the modern world, her triumphs and her decline. We will consider whether Churchill really is 'the greatest Briton'.

Enlisting hearts and minds: propaganda and the Second World War Dr Andrew Lacey Propaganda was used by all nations involved in the Second World War and employed every type of media from film to children’s comics. We will investigate the propaganda of Great Britain, the USA, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1945 to explore differences and similarities between the propaganda of democracies and dictatorships.

La4

From Shakespeare to Mantel: historical fiction and national identity in English culture Siân Griffiths This course will put the 'story' firmly into History. We will investigate how it is that from Shakespeare to Hilary Mantel, certain historical episodes have been invented and re-invented in order to produce and re-produce meaning and identity in English culture.

From its origins and early problems, including the Berlin Blockade, we assess some of the main flashpoints, such as the Korean War, the invasion of Hungary, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. We consider why they occurred, their seriousness and their consequences and examine the events leading to the end of the Cold War. Not to be taken with B12 in ISP I.

19th-century Europe was dominated by the ambitions and rivalries of these three imperial families. We examine these dynasties and how they all came to grief in the catastrophe of the First World War – a war created by those very ambitions and rivalries.

Cold War flashpoints Dr Jonathan Davis

The Fall of Eagles: the Romanovs, Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns, 1848-1920 Dr Andrew Lacey

Britain and the Great War: five key controversies Dr Seán Lang We focus on five major controversies about Britain and the First World War; the declaration of war in 1914; the generalship of Sir John French and Sir Douglas Haig; British policy in Palestine and the Balfour Declaration; the German 1918 Spring Offensive; and the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.

Ma2

The advent of the Tudors Dr Jessica Sharkey Despite its fame, the Tudor dynasty rose from shadowy and humble origins.

We examine the tumultuous and unlikely events that led to Henry VII's victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, and consider how the first Tudor managed to secure his throne and end the Wars of the Roses.

The Ottoman Empire, c.1300-1923 Dr Andrew Arsan This course retraces the long and eventful history of the Ottoman Empire. We will challenge long-standing stereotypes of the empire as ‘the terrible Turk’ or ‘the sick man of Europe’, tracing its political and social transformations and its cultural interconnections with its European and Asian neighbours.

Ma5

The global 1980s: a world in transition Dr Jonathan Davis This course considers the great changes which took place in the 1980s as the world moved into a new socioeconomic and political era. It looks at the rise of a new ideology and the end of an old one, the technological developments and the democratic movements which helped to push numerous dictatorships over.

The reign of Charles II, 1660-85 Dr David Smith FRHistS This course examines the personality and policies of Charles II, exploring his turbulent early life and considering how and why he came to be restored to the throne in 1660. We review his career as King, his beliefs and motives, the use he made of his powers, and the nature of his achievements. Throughout, the classes will make use of an extensive selection of primary sources.

Lb2

Salvation at stake: martyrdom in early modern Christianity, c.1500-1700 Dr Ceri Law We examine the many controversies surrounding martyrdom in early modern Europe, study figures including Thomas More and Thomas Cranmer, see original texts and historic works up close, and consider what this tells us about the religious conflicts of the period.

Lb3

Revolutionary Russia Dr Jennifer Keating We look at the 1905 revolution and ask whether it deserves such a title, before turning to the two revolutions in 1917.

We consider why Tsarism collapsed, why liberalism failed and Bolshevism

68

succeeded, why revolution gave way to civil war, and assess the consequences of the revolutions for Russia and the world.

Lb4

Political change in Europe, 1789-1871 Dr Paul McHugh When asked in the 1970s for his assessment of the French Revolution of 1789, Zhou Enlai replied "It is too early to say". This course will take up the challenge – at least for the hundred years after the great revolution – looking at the interplay of liberalism, nationalism, Bonapartism, anarchism and socialism in order to understand the nature of 19th-century political change.

Lb5

The Bandung Moment: revolution and anti-imperialism in the 20th century Dr Leigh Denault Taking the 1952 Bandung conference as its starting point, we consider major themes (the end of Empire, violence, internationalist thought, and ideas about human rights) and major figures (including Nasser and Nehru) in terms of rethinking the world order in the 1940s and 50s from the perspective of the 'global south'.

Group Mb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Mb1

1776: American Revolution or British Civil War? Dr Seán Lang The conflict in the 1770s between Britain and its American colonies has been seen as a war between a mighty empire and the fledgling American republic. But is that right? This course will trace the war back to its roots, in Britain’s constitutional conflicts going back to the days of Charles I, Oliver Cromwell and beyond.

Mb2 Elizabeth I: the age of Gloriana?

Dr Jessica Sharkey The reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, is often associated with a golden age in English history. This course re-examines the period by looking past the traditional image and considers the challenges posed by religious upheaval, female rule and complex foreign diplomacy.

Mb3 Exploring Britain's constitutional conventions Dr Graham McCann The British Constitution has been described as 'hidden and difficult to find'. While parts of it are written, other parts exist only as conventions, to be treated as strictly or loosely as any generation of politicians choose. We explore some of the most significant,

unusual and contentious of these conventions, considering what is most distinctive about the nature, and history, of the British system of government.

Mb4

Republicanism and rebellion in modern Ireland, c.1798-1922 Dr Eoin Devlin This course explores the development of republican ideas and their impact in shaping a series of rebellions in modern Ireland, with particular attention on the reception of the American and French Revolutions, the rebellion of 1798, and the Easter Rising of 1916. We will consider the interrelationship of ideas and political action, with a focus on some key documents from the period.

Mb5 Stonehenge: a Mesolithic to Romano-British landscape Professor David Jacques FSA This course offers a new understanding of the establishment of the Stonehenge ritual landscape. Drawing on recent evidence for there being a substantial Mesolithic huntergatherer context to the Stonehenge landscape, we explore whether that was a key reason for the precise siting of Stonehenge. We then examine the evolving uses of this landscape through the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British periods.

Art and Visual Culture Programme Core lecture series

Proposed topics include, but are not limited to, the following subjects: The slippery sublime Dr Lydia Hamlett Common to the various notions of the ‘sublime’ over time has been its power to move its subject, its audience or beholder. This lecture will examine the shifting concept of the sublime in relation to the visual arts, in particular before and after Edmund Burke famously discussed the sublime in relation to the natural object in the mid-18th century.

Illumination: movement and emotions in Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts Dr Stella Panayotova By virtue of their artists’ skills and their patrons’ literacy, illuminated manuscripts are the richest visual repository of contemporaneous ideas.

We focus on two of the most important artistic and intellectual developments: the simulation of movement through 3D effects and the depiction of human emotions. In addition to the sentiments familiar from religious images, we shall explore less well-known emotional responses portrayed in secular contexts, such as surprise, disgust and laughter.

The moving image and migration: visual culture of the Russian emigration Dr Nicola Kozicharow We explore the cultural aftershocks of the Russian Revolution of 1917, when 1.5 million Russians were forced to flee their homeland and settle abroad, through a wide range of visual media, from everyday popular images such as caricatures and children’s books to paintings.

Another Day Lost: movement and Syrian refugees Issam Kourbaj Syrian artist Issam Kourbaj reflects on his work on the continuing tragedies of his homeland. Another Day Lost; Dark Water, Burning World and Lost are some of his installations that travelled (and are still travelling) to various museums and festivals around the world, and deal with issues of thousands of refugees fleeing the violence in Syria.

Art and dance in pre-war London: Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and contemporaries Dr Jenny Powell Focusing on the work of the Frenchborn but London-based artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, this lecture explores the dialogues between art and dance

72

in London before the First World War. Gaudier-Brzeska and his ‘Vorticist’ artist contemporaries became increasingly obsessed with capturing the energy and motion of the modern world through their art, and with the new dance trends that were emerging in London’s theatres and music halls in this period.

Murals and movement in the British Baroque Dr Lydia Hamlett This lecture examines mural painting in Britain under the Stuart monarchs, where they shine a light on many aspects of the history, politics and culture of the period. It will focus on how a spectator interacted with murals, placing them in the context of the ceremonies and performances enacted in the spaces they adorned.

Antony Gormley: the body and space in sculpture Dr Jenny Powell We explore the work of the internationally renowned British sculptor Antony Gormley. His sculptures consistently provoke conversations between the sculpture, site, space and the body (that of the artist and the viewer). New work created in 2018 will be considered alongside earlier examples of the artist’s practice.

Artistic value: a moving target Siân Griffiths Values in Western art have traditionally reflected the values of a powerful elite.

During the 20th century, the art world developed direct challenges to this system. Philosophies of art and anti-art emerged to subvert the existing order.

The commercial world of art changed and artists themselves found ways to avoid being caught up in it, or else to exploit it.

Moving bodies: Orlan and Abramovich Siân Griffiths This talk considers two artists for whom “the medium is the body”.

Orlan has used her body to redefine the parameters of aesthetic value; in particular through her process of Carnal Art. Marina Abramovich has taken Performance Art to the limits of physical endurance to explore the human condition.

Moving sculpture in Renaissance Italy Dr Victoria Avery FSA How were large marble blocks transported from quarry to workshop?

How were finished sculptures moved and installed? Focusing on Florence and Venice, we look at the textual and visual evidence for the logistics of moving sculpture, and how Renaissance sculptors encouraged viewers to interact with their creations.

Painting through ACTION? Abstract Expressionism in post-war New York Dr Jenny Powell

Modelling movement: Degas’s sculptures of horses and dancers Dr Victoria Avery FSA

1940s and 1950s New York was home to a group of groundbreaking abstract artists commonly known as the New York School. Artists such as Jackson Pollock created highly physical ‘Action paintings’ on a monumental scale that often dominate discourses around Abstract Expressionism. Pollock will be considered in this lecture alongside lesser-known, but seminal figures, such as Richard Pousette-Dart.

Why was Degas obsessed with capturing movement and the fleeting moment in his three-dimensional statuettes of horses and dancers? Why did he resist having his creations cast into bronze? How were his statuettes manipulated after his death, causing alterations between the originals and the serial casts? We reflect on the kinetic aspects of Degas’s work as a sculptor, and the changes to his creations since his death.

Moving images: a curator’s tale Dr Victoria Avery FSA This talk reflects on how a museum curator’s time is spent ‘moving images’: overseeing physical object moves for temporary exhibitions and loans off-site; fund-raising to pay for conservation work to stop objects ‘moving’; acquiring artworks to ‘move the public’ emotionally and intellectually; and devising new displays to make static objects come alive.

Film and television culture in the age of the algorithm Alexander Taylor Streaming services, data analytics and algorithms are redefining media landscapes. The TV series has become the dominant moving-image narrative form as images themselves move across platforms and devices. We critically explore the sociocultural, economic and political impact of new models of media production, distribution and viewer engagement.

Art and Visual Culture Programme Gallery and museum visits Proposed visits include the following: Fitzwilliam Museum The world-renowned Fitzwilliam Museum houses an impressive collection of art and artefacts from around the world. In addition to coins and Egyptian coffins, Renaissance sculpture, Asian art, the Museum’s painting collections range from the 13th to the 21st century and are represented by medieval diptychs, Titian, Canaletto, Turner, Poussin, Monet and Sickert.

Kettle's Yard Kettle’s Yard was originally the home of Jim Ede, a former curator at the Tate Gallery, and provides a unique light-filled space to house his outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by Joan Miro, Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Constantin Brancusi, Barbara Hepworth and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. Kettle’s Yard has recently under gone a major building project thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology The collections span nearly two million years of human history, from six continents, with the newest objects being made by contemporary artists. The collections represent contemporary life all over the world,

and the Museum works with modernday indigenous communities in all kinds of ways. They also provide a sense of how artefacts moving around the globe have been important influences on Western art for more than 150 years.

The moving image in Victorian popular culture Dr Josh Nall The moving image was a staple of popular culture long before the invention of cinema. In this hands-on session at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, curator Joshua Nall will demonstrate and explain some of the many fantastical devices used

by Victorians to animate and project dramatic scenes for public education and spectacle.

New Hall Art Collection Eliza Gluckman The New Hall Art Collection of over 500 exhibits started in the 1980s and early 1990s and is now the largest collection of works by women in Europe. This tour by the Collection’s Curator focuses on the feminist and political dynamic of works in the collection. The tour will include areas not usually open to the public.

Shakespeare Programme 5 – 18 August

Programme Director: Dr Fred Parker Senior Lecturer in English, University of Cambridge; Fellow and Director of Studies in English, Clare College Academic programme • Four courses (two per week) • Plenary lecture series RS0: Transitions • Evening talks

Courses You choose two per week, each has five sessions. In order to gain the greatest benefit from your studies you should undertake any given preparatory work.

Programme description A rich collection of courses, lectures, readings and acting workshops.

You can explore the power, beauty, and meaning of Shakespeare's plays with leading academics; discover connections with the wider world of Elizabethan culture; and explore aspects of performance, including, if you wish, workshops led by a professional actor and director.

Plenary lectures RS0 Transitions Between the old order and a new modernity, hierarchy and individualism, faith and scepticism, Shakespeare's world was in transition, and his works are acutely responsive to this cultural moment. Fluid identities, shifts in genre, slippage between viewpoints, and metamorphoses of all kinds will come into focus in these lectures.

Our team of lecturers and Course Directors are experts in the field.

They combine the Cambridge tradition of close attention to the text with an alertness to questions of performance which is so vital in approaching Shakespeare. Lecturers engage with the experience and the response of participants, whose enthusiasm, openness and curiosity give the programme its unique atmosphere.

Evening talks Eminent speakers will present a variety of general interest talks.

These are shared with students on our other programmes.

Week 1 (5 – 11 August) Group Ra: 9.15am – 10.45am Ra1

Ra3

At first Shakespeare's love comedies might seem to make play upon mistaken identity, disguise and illusion.

Through such means, however, he raises deeper issues, truth and seemingly, even the very nature of theatre itself. Above all, these two of his finest comedies simultaneously celebrate love.

Coriolanus completes the line of tragedies written by Shakespeare in the 1600s. It is the story of a heroic military commander who – when he enters the political arena – is destroyed by his inability to compromise. In the intensity of his pride, Coriolanus is not very sympathetic – not at any rate to a modern audience – but his dilemma is a fascinating one and his fate powerfully tragic.

The comedy of love: A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night Dr Alexander Lindsay

Coriolanus Clive Wilmer

Ra2

The green-eyed monster: jealousy Dr Fred Parker So Iago describes the condition which exerts a recurrent fascination across Shakespeare, as sexual insecurity feeds a still deeper uncertainty as to how well we can know someone else. We shall be trying to understand what afflicts Leontes (The Winter’s Tale) and Othello, while also drawing on key moments elsewhere.

Ra4

The Tempest in performance Vivien Heilbron The Tempest is set on an almost deserted island, where Prospero the magician lives in exile with his daughter, Miranda, Caliban, his savage but eloquent slave and Ariel, a delicate spirit who serves Prospero but who longs for freedom.

A shipwreck, magically conjured up by Prospero, strands his enemies on the island. Good and evil fight for power.

The course consists of five practical acting workshops and requires confident English speaking skills.

Group Sa: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Sa1

Sa3

The forest of Arden is inhabited by country peasants, lovers of all kinds and a band of exiled noblemen. All the characters are under pressure, driven by both love and hatred. In a series of ten practical acting workshops, we will see how Shakespeare guides his actors through his use of language, both verse and prose. This course requires confident English speaking skills. This is a double course which can only be taken with Sb1.

The maximum number of students on this course is 15.

In 1896, F S Boas borrowed the term 'problem play' from contemporary theatre to describe plays he thought neither comedies nor tragedies, and unleashed a world of confusion. This course tackles the problem of Boas's legacy, and sets the problems posed in and by these plays in a more helpful light.

Deeds and consequences in Macbeth Dr Paul Suttie

Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra and Pericles retell old stories, and reanimate the words and speeches of bygone authors in Latin, Greek, and medieval English. How do these plays represent telling, retelling, and memory? How do voices from the past construct memorials for the future?

Shakespeare’s darkest play takes us on a journey of astonishing intensity and great psychological insight from deeds too terrible to be named through the inexorable chain of their consequences, mocking human pretensions to self-awareness and self-determination, and exposing a fearful abyss that lurks beneath the conscious mind and its attempts to rationalise the world.

We shall look closely at key passages in an attempt to do justice to this most multi-faceted, ambiguous, elusive, and endlessly interesting play – though justice, it seems, is not easily done.

Moments from other revenge tragedies will show how Hamlet is typical of the genre, and how it is not.

The 'fat rogue' Sir John Falstaff is the greatest of all Shakespeare's comic creations. This course follows his 'career' through four plays: as the central figure in two history plays, Parts 1 and 2 of King Henry IV, in the light comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor and with the report of his death in King Henry V.

Hamlet Dr Fred Parker

Rb2 Staging sexuality Dr Lucy Allen Shakespearean stages offer crossdressing boys, men in love with donkeys, forbidden marriages, sexual jealousy, and more than a hint of homoeroticism. We will explore these varied forms of love and lust, examining the controversies different plays arouse, and the various strategies performers and directors have pursued in staging sexuality.

Shakespeare's Venice: The Merchant of Venice and Othello Valentin Gerlier A place of political intrigues, bacchanalia, wealth and avarice, a threshold between East and West, and a haven of art and culture: Venice is the perfect setting for complex and far-reaching drama. This course explores how (and why) Shakespeare stages such powerful and complex plays in this city of many colours.

Group Sb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Sb1

As You Like It in performance Vivien Heilbron This is a double course which can only be taken with Sa1. The maximum number of students on this course is 15.

Sb2 Wonder in the early Comedies: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors and Love's Labour's Lost Valentin Gerlier What is ‘wonder’ and what place has such an elusive quality in Shakespeare’s work? Exploring form, structure and dramatic tropes – shipwrecks, twins, disguises, recognition scenes – this course will delve into how Shakespeare’s sparkling and magical early Comedies were intended to bring about ‘wonder’ in the theatre, leaving audiences with a baffling sense of awe, marvel and delight.

Sb3

Shakespeare's first tetralogy: King Henry VI, Parts 1- 3 and Richard III Dr John Lennard Shakespeare’s account of the long, disputatious reign of Henry VI led to his mesmerising Richard Crookback. This course asks how experiments in a new genre taught him how to fit history on stage and to build a theatrical role actors still love to play, and audiences love to hate.

Sb4 Nature and justice in King Lear Dr Paul Suttie This stark tragedy asks: is the world morally comprehensible? Can justice be found or made in it, or will there only ever be "the pelting of this pitiless storm"? But what then to make of our human longing for justice - is it a saving trait, or one that makes fools of us all?

History, art and image: English tomb sculpture in the Middle Ages Professor Nigel Saul FSA The richly-carved figures of the knights and their ladies, the bishops and their clergy, constitute some of the most eye-catching features of our medieval churches. Who made these monuments and whom do they commemorate?

The course will use the world of tomb sculpture to open a window onto the art and history of medieval England.

Before the Reformation Dr Richard Rex The idea of ‘Reformation’ – much in the news thanks to the quincentenary of Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses – has tended to paint the late medieval Church as a cesspit of corruption or a morass of superstition. ‘Before the Reformation’ invites you to take a fresh look, on its own terms, at the Church Luther broke.

Ka2

Medieval death and dying Dr Philip Morgan FSA Death is the constant human experience, but what were the characteristics and differences in the Middle Ages between, the ‘good death,’ the risks of death in battle or in childbirth, death by execution or the sudden and unanticipated deaths of the traveller or the murdered?

Discovering the medieval world through Chaucer Dr Elizabeth Solopova This course will introduce Chaucer’s major works, including The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde. Students will learn about Chaucer’s career, explore his philosophy, his highly innovative poetic art, and read extracts from his works to discover some of the most fascinating narratives and beautiful poetry written in English.

Group Na: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Na1

The flowering of the Middle Ages: Europe, 1300-1500 Professor Nigel Saul FSA This course will examine the last two medieval centuries, seeking to evaluate them in their own right rather than as an autumnal sequel to the 12th century or a prelude to the Renaissance, and looking in particular at the broadening of political society and at the strains placed on the State by war.

Na2

Eleanor of Aquitaine and women of the 12th century Dr Philip Morgan FSA The career of Eleanor of Aquitaine, from heiress and wife to crusader and Queen, seems unmatched in the Middle Ages. But, was her life, generally written in the (often critical) voice of monkish authors, and in changing historical contexts, really unique?

We will look at her career and at those of her lesser known peers.

Na3

Outlaws, gangs and rebels: crime and punishment in late medieval England, 1300-1500 Dr Ted Powell By 1300 England possessed a sophisticated judicial system.

Nevertheless it was a violent and lawless country. Outlaws like Robin Hood were heroes, gangs of gentry roamed the countryside, and royal judges went in fear of their lives. Using original sources, this course explores the history of crime and punishment in late medieval England.

Na4

Masterpieces of Old English poetry Dr Elizabeth Solopova This course is an introduction to genres, themes, ideas and form of the earliest surviving verse in English. It is an opportunity to study, understand more fully and enjoy distant yet enduringly appealing works, such as Beowulf, The Dream of the Rood, the elegies and riddles.

A betting man in the year 1000 would never have put money on France becoming the most powerful kingdom in Western Europe. How did this happen and just how strong was it when the last Capetian monarch died in 1328? This course will explore the extraordinary history of its rise and its remarkable kings. This is a double course which can only be taken with Nb1.

14th-century England witnessed accelerating state growth, as the legal expansion of the late 13th century was joined by ever-greater demands pertaining to war. Unprecedented public service was consequently delivered by the king and many of his subjects. This course will examine how and why political lives were changed.

The architecture of the English Parish Church Dr Francis Woodman FSA The English Parish Church emerged as a physical expression of religion, popular devotion, community, local Church organisation and government.

We shall examine their architectural development over more than five centuries with reference to liturgy, style, decoration and financing, as well as the impact of cults, patrons and chantry foundations.

Business and Entrepreneurship Programme Core sessions

Proposed topics include the following subjects:

Product design Some elements of business success can be assigned to the way any product is designed and delivered to the customer. We review basic product design principles and how they can be used to differentiate a product from its competition.

Prototyping and MVP Any idea can often be best represented through the creation of a prototype or the development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We cover the fundamentals of creating prototypes and MVPs effectively, to test out a proposition’s strength and viability.

Service provision The definition and delivery of services (not products), demands a different set of business skills and techniques.

We focus on the design and delivery of services that can deliver high quality competition.

Marketing delivery We address the ‘marketing mix’ - the combination of identifying what people or businesses want, developing the product to meet that need, then pricing and promoting it.

90

| www.ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer

Value proposition Value propositions explain how a product or service solves customers’ problems or improves their situation, delivers specific benefits and tells the ideal customer why they should buy from one supplier instead of another.

We see how great propositions are created and communicated.

Defining the customer A customer profile can help to define their needs clearly, through their buying patterns and their motivations for buying. This session focuses on segmenting customers, to enable targeted marketing activities to be developed to fit them.

Route to market A route to market is how a company sells its product and how it plans its sales. This session introduces a range of different routes to market which will include direct selling, selling wholesale, distance selling, online selling and developing a combination of channels.

Business Model Canvas We consider the Business Model Canvas - a strategic management and lean start-up template for developing

new, or documenting existing, business models. This visual chart describes infrastructure, value proposition, customers, and finances.

Revenue streams Revenue streams can be generated in many different ways. We review a range of options and how they may be used together. These include the customer paying to own a product, paying a user fee for a service, paying for use for a fixed period of time, paying for brokerage, charging for advertising and providing volume discounts.

Team profiles Team-building is both an art and a science, and the ability to build and manage high-performing teams is a core business competence. We review effective team-building: what combinations of character types work well together to develop, implement and support customer solutions.

What investors want to see For any potential investor, the management team will be a major area of risk. This session covers the primary elements that investors look for in a business and will cover concepts such as level of consensus, diversity of experience, customer and market knowledge and overall adaptability.

Culture and dynamics We consider why individuals do what they do - their beliefs and motivators and attitudes - and how an organisation can use those values to drive the development of policies, processes and procedures, and consequently generate value and competence.

Types of funding This session reviews the different ways in which a business can be funded, including using your own money, taking funds from family and friends, grants and philanthropy, crowdfunding, angel investment, venture capital, and bank and alternative lending.

Risk reward return Understanding risk is crucial. Low levels of uncertainty are associated with low potential returns and high levels of uncertainty are associated with high potential returns. We look at how we address and evaluate potential risks and associated rewards.

Simple cash flow This session covers the creation of a simple cash flow forecast showing which items need to be included, where data comes from and what insights and information can be derived from the forecast.

Email: intenq@ice.cam.ac.uk |

91

Manufacturing and logistics This session addresses two key businesses processes, and how they interact: manufacturing – converting raw materials or parts into finished goods to meet customer specifications – and logistics – making sure raw materials are available at the right time, inventory management, warehousing, distribution, transport, and customer service.

Wholesale and retail This session covers the various wholesale and retail routes that a product or service can take on its way to the customer and how they interact.

Technology Businesses use technology in a wide variety of ways. We review the main technologies vital to most companies, including email, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), content management, marketing management, accounting systems, inventory management, project management and many others.

Taxes, boards, policies This session reviews a company’s responsibilities towards reporting financial information and paying taxes, managing accountability through boards and internal reporting, and the policies that cover the way that employees are managed and treated.

92

| www.ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer

Shares and shareholders Anyone who owns shares in a limited company is called a 'shareholder' or 'member'. They normally receive a percentage of trading profits that correlates with their percentage of ownership. We cover the principles of creating, allocating and managing shares, and the roles and responsibilities of shareholders.

Intellectual property (IP) Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind: inventions; literary and artistic works; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. We review both categories, covering patents for inventions; trademarks; industrial designs and geographical indications; and copyright for literary works, films, music, artistic works and architectural design.

Creative Writing Programme 5 – 18 August

Programme Director: Professor Jem Poster Poet and novelist; Emeritus Professor of Creative Writing, Aberystwyth University; Affiliated Lecturer, University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education Academic programme • One course per week (workshops take place twice a day) • Plenary lectures • Evening talks Programme description This programme builds on a rich literary tradition at Cambridge and is designed for those wishing to develop their existing writing skills either for professional use, or out of personal interest. Courses will focus on the writing of fiction and non-fiction, in a range of genres and styles. Course Directors – all established writers – will set practical writing tasks and guide you in critical reflection on your own work and that of your fellow students, as well as on the work of published writers.

The programme is intentionally rigorous. You will be expected to put in a minimum of two hours of writing per weekday as private study, and must demonstrate a high level of fluency in English in your application by providing a 300-400 word piece explaining your reasons for applying.

Courses and daily writing tasks You choose one course per week from five practice-based courses. Four of these address, from a variety of different angles, the writing of fiction; the fifth course is devoted to creative non-fiction. You write 350-400 words, four days a week, for your chosen course. These creative pieces form the basis of class-based discussion - you should expect your work to be critically evaluated by both your peers and the Course Director. The maximum class size is 15 participants.

Plenary lectures Morning plenary lectures will be given by published writers and figures from the world of publishing, who will address a variety of matters related to their own work and to the craft of writing itself.

Evening talks Eminent speakers will present a variety of general interest talks. These are shared with students on our other programmes.

Covering the fundamental principles of plot structure, this course considers classic story shapes and how we can use them to help make our narratives realistic and believable yet unpredictable and compelling. Moving on from tried and tested formulae we will consider how we can reinvent plot to tell new stories.

We shall begin by exploring memory as one of the fiction-writer’s key resources, probing the nature of our recollections, before examining the role of the imagination in translating them into vivid fictional form. We shall also consider the value of research, in the broad sense, as a basis for fiction.

The art and craft of fiction I. Writing plot. What's the big idea?

Writing short fiction I. Glimpsed moments Dr Lucy Durneen V S Pritchett described short stories as the ‘moment glimpsed in passing’ – the realm of the fleeting, the love affair that cannot last, the overheard conversation. This course will train your mind to capture these glimpsed moments and to consider what makes the short story the vital form it is.

Exploring fiction I. Memory, imagination, research Professor Jem Poster

| www.ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer

Writing non-fiction I. Lives - past and present Midge Gillies We begin by exploring what makes an interesting life and the role of the biographer and memoirist. We look at how the writer of non-fiction can make fact as compelling as fiction, and explore the use of research, memory and imagination.

Wa5

Wb2

This course will explore the ideas and energies that generate and sustain a work of fiction. We shall look at ways of identifying potentially fruitful ideas, ways of opening a narrative and ways of amplifying our imaginative writing through carefully focused research.

This course will take a more specific approach to the craft of the short story, considering aspects of form, such as setting, character, and the power of beginnings and endings. We shall discuss the mechanics of short fiction, and briefly explore options for publication.

Adventures in fiction I. Approaching fiction Rupert Wallis

Week 2 (12 – 18 August) Group Wb: 9.15am – 10.45am and 2.00pm – 3.30pm Wb1

The art and craft of fiction II. Writing character. Who and why?

Dr Sarah Burton This course considers a variety of ways in which we can construct characters, creating three-dimensional plausible personalities. But inventing characters is just the beginning; we will go on to discover how writers reveal character to the reader and how we encourage readers to invest emotionally in what happens to them.

Writing short fiction II. Specifics Dr Lucy Durneen

Wb3

Exploring fiction II. Place, character, voice, action Professor Jem Poster We shall focus on a number of important elements in fiction-writing, analysing the part they play and examining their interconnectedness: we shall look at the places in which our stories are set, the characters inhabiting those fictional spaces, and the ways in which our characters define themselves through both dialogue and action.

We look at the most imaginative ways of describing people and the landscape in which they live, or have lived. We explore the potential for mixing different genres to find one, compelling narrative, and examine the extent to which place can become a central character.

This course will look at the blending of various elements of fiction to create effective narratives that keep the reader immersed in a story.

Topics will include point of view, dialogue, description, rhythm and characterisation.

If you think you may be eligible to apply on this basis, or if you have any other enquiries about your English language, please contact us before applying at intlang@ice.cam.ac.uk.

Visas It is important to ensure that you have the correct visa which permits study on the International Summer Programmes. The University of Cambridge must comply with regulations issued by UK Visas and Immigration, part of the government’s Home Office.

The Short-term study visa is currently the relevant document for international students accepted on our programmes. However, since regulations may change and additional documents may be required, applicants should always check current requirements for themselves. You do not need a visa if you are an EEA or Swiss national.

Non-visa nationals (such as citizens of the USA, Canada and Australia) can get a Short-term study visa as they enter the UK. Check our website for full details and the UK Border Agency website for more information: www.gov.uk/study-visit-visa. Applicants should allow sufficient time for the appropriate visa to be processed to ensure that they are in a safe legal position to attend their course of study in Cambridge.

We strongly advise that all visa nationals supply us with a copy of their visa before arrival; ideally four weeks before travel, so we can flag any potential issues and advise accordingly.

ALL students will be asked to show their passport and visa (where relevant), EEA national identity card or UK driving licence at Registration.

Courses and seminars When booking online, if your first option is full, you can add yourself to a waiting list and select a second choice. Paper-based applications ask you for a first, second and third choice.

We reserve the right to alter details of any course or seminar should illness or emergency prevent a Course Director from teaching. In such circumstances, we will endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing. Should a course, or seminar, have to be cancelled due to very low enrolment or last-minute unforeseen circumstances, any participant enrolled on that course, or seminar, will be contacted immediately, and an alternative course, or seminar, place arranged.

Accommodation allocation When booking online, if your first option is full, you can add yourself to a waiting list and select a second choice. Paper-based applications ask you for a first, second and third choice.

Colleges will try to meet specific room requests and additional requirements, but this may not always be possible. Please note that room sizes may vary considerably.

Unfortunately we are unable to confirm specific room allocations prior to arrival, nor are the Colleges. We kindly ask you not to contact the Colleges directly.

Special circumstances If, in the reasonable opinion of the Institute, the presence of any student is an impediment to the provision of any service of the Institute or brings the Institute (and/or the University of Cambridge) into disrepute, the Institute may exclude such a person from all or part of the service. In these circumstances the Institute will return any booking fee paid by or for the individual, but there will be no further liability of the Institute.

Booking information Accommodation Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If requested in advance, couples will be assigned to adjacent single rooms where possible. Double rooms are not available. Twin rooms are for spouses, partners and siblings, only.

All rooms must be vacated after breakfast on your departure date.

Non-residential attendance is also possible. The Cambridge Visitor Information Centre is able to provide information about accommodation. The University can accept no responsibility for finding accommodation for those applying for non-residential places.

Accommodation between consecutive programmes/terms Those attending two, or more, consecutive programmes/terms will automatically have their College accommodation booked for the extra night(s) between and be charged accordingly (see page 113). Please email us at intenq@ice.cam.ac.uk if you do not require this.

Special requirements We make every effort to accommodate the needs of those with special dietary or medical requirements. If the College to which you have been allocated cannot meet your requirement, we will offer you accommodation in a different College. Please indicate on your application form whether you have any special requirements and we will contact you for further information.

Building works We can accept no responsibility for building works but will attempt to minimise any disruption.

Medical insurance Your home country may have an arrangement with the UK so that medical care is free.

If it does not, you must take out medical insurance to ensure you are covered during your stay, particularly if you have known medical needs that may require attention. Medical costs are expensive and payment in cash is often needed at the time of treatment.

Travel insurance You must take out travel insurance to cover yourself for your return journey and the duration of your stay. It should cover any expenses incurred as a result of lost or stolen property, late arrival, early or delayed departure, or cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances.

For our refund and cancellation policy see page 116. The University accepts no liability for loss or damage to student property.
